Delete object and its attributes from HDF5 file

Dear All,

I have a question regarding deleting an object or dataset (and its
attributes as well) from a HDF5 file.

As far as I know there is no command line tool for this.

As a workaround, I tried to copy all other objects except the one I want to
get rid of in an HDF file to a new HDF file

It worked but this time the attributes of the root group were not copied to
the new file.

And I could not find a way to copy the attributes of the root group to the
new file.

So, I'd like to ask you, if there is a way to get rid of (delete) an
object/objects and its/their attributes in and HDF file

OR, a way/method to copy the attributes of the root group to a new hdf file.

Thanks and Regards,

Hakan

Hi,

You may try to use the h5edit tool to delete/add attributes; see https://www.hdfgroup.org/projects/jpss/h5edit_index.html.
